Get ready to belly laugh this weekend as ACTS Theatre presents the delightful comedy “Christmas Belles.”

The Southern farce combines squabbling sisters, family secrets, a surly Santa, vengeful sheep and a reluctant Elvis impersonator as a church’s annual Christmas program spins out of control in Fayro, Texas.

Producer Kathy Heath said the play begins with the Futrelle sisters — Frankie, Twink and Honey Raye — “not exactly in a festive mood.”

A cranky Frankie is weeks overdue with her second set of twins, she said. Twink, recently jilted and bitter about it, is in jail for inadvertently burning down half the town. Hot-flash-suffering Honey Raye is desperately trying to keep the Tabernacle of the Lamb’s Christmas program from spiraling into chaos.

The program’s celebrity guest, Santa Claus, is played by Frankie’s long-suffering husband, Dub — who is in the midst of passing a kidney stone. And the entire cast is dropping like flies due to food poisoning from the Band Boosters’ Pancake Supper.

But the feuding sisters find a way to pull together in order to present a Christmas program the residents of Fayro will never forget, Heath said.

The play is set for 7:30 p.m. Dec. 8-9 and 3 p.m. Dec. 10 at ACTS Theatre, 1 Reid St. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors, $10 for students and may be purchased online at www.actstheatre.com or at the box office on the day of show.
